Law at the Liquor Agency.

County Commissioner John d. Miller
has instituted new and in some re-
spects admirable reform in the admin
istratiOn of justice at the liquor
agency. Unless good grounds exist
for believing that the applicant for
liquor is dishonest in his statements
the liquor is delivered without further
questioning. If, however, it turns out
that the liquor was obtained under
false pretenses the law furnishes a
remedy. This week an applicant de-
sired liquor ''fOr Il sick horse" 1t
turned out that the applicant was the
sick horse, and he was trotted up to
Justice Sargent's and fined $I4.5I and
was glad to get off at that rate.

Tramps and PeddIers.


The country is badly infested by
tramps. Some beg, but good many
have something to sell. They are per-
haps about equally Objectionable.
The latter work on the fears of the
women of the household, the former
on both the sympathies and fears.
Perhaps there is no rule that can apply
to all beggars, but there is one that
will apply to all tramp peddlers: Tell
them politely but distinctly that you
neither wish to buy or look at theiI
goods. This is rule that has no ex-
ceptions. Buy what you buy of re-
sponsible local dealers, not of strang-
ers who come to the door. This will
apply TO all kinds of wares and al
classes of people.

and proved one of the most interest

the district were represented. The sew
eral reports showed that the order was
alive and doing good service in the
cause of the district. The public ses-
siOns in the afternoon and evening
were of unusual interest and we'll at
tended. The topics were ably dis
cussed, and the testimonies of the
good work being done by the several
lodges in the district were very en-
couraging. The evening session, held
in the M. E. Church, was ABLY pre-
sided over by A. L. Aldrich, Esq, OF

side of the question. The session
throughout was interesting and profit
able. Several visitors from East Hard

OUR DUTY TO THE HELPLESS.


The sad incident related on the in
side pages this week respecting the
death of Charles Siedhorf, the aged
scholar, who rather die than go to the
poorhouse, should have the effect to
arouse public attention to the way the
helpless are cared for in most of our
towns and cities. How many people
of any town know anything about the
condition of their poorhouse or the
man who has charge of it? If there
is one duty greater than another de-
people, it is the proper protection and
care of the helpless ones. This in
cludes children who have no natural,
or do have unnatural protectors and
aged people, as well as those of weak
and disordered mind. Is it not a fact
in very many towns that the man who
will care for the towns wards the
cheapest is the man sure of election to
that Office? Is it not true that most
pOOrhouses are cold and uncomfortable
places, especially so to aged and feeble
people who usually constitute the ma
iority of their inmates? Is it not true
that the little cOmforts-a warm room,
an easy chair, q soft bed, cup of tea
and other things so dear and necessary
to aged people and semiinvalids, are
denied our wards in the almshOuse
1t is good time for the people to be
asking some of these questions. With
in short time pOOr-master here in
one of the large towns of Vermont de-
clined to pay only one dollar a week
for the support of in aged person be-
cause he said he could care for her al
the pOOrhouse for that amount. The
woman is old, feeble and infrm, and
frequently quite i'll. The question
arises, what kind of food, clothing and
personal care and nursing such a per-
son would receive at the poorhouse
where the total expense is estimated
by the Overseer at one dollar week
An Overseer of the poor should be a
man of discernment and good judg-
ment; but above all he should have
human sympathy and big heart
Too many towns elect men to that Of
flee who have no heart, nothing but a
gizzard and it is disgrace to oul
civilization that this is true.
